MBB: Centennial Conference

Givengo - I don't have any direct ties to the team. Just a passionate fan who enjoys college hoops and since this program turned around under Coach Oliver's leadership it's very easy and convenient to get to home games which is why a became a fan of the program in the first place. I heard he did a pretty good number on his arm but as of right now I personally don't have any specific details. If I do hear anything I will be sure to update on this thread.

Givengo, Students are on spring break this week; therefore Sledge has not been seen as of yet. We hope that no one else was injured in the unfortunate incident.

I must say, the commentators for the Dickinson team were classy. They were a little bias, as we all would be, however, they did a professional job. They added to the experience. I really enjoyed listening to them throughout the 3 games. I must say, with about 17 minutes in the first half, they were already talking about the Cox/Sledge reunion that would take place the next evening during the Regis game. I thought that was funny, because every Albertus fan was rooting for Regis to pull off the upset (for obvious reasons), but again, it was excellent work by them. God bless you guys also.

Obviously a lot of times its difficult to cheer for the team that ousts your team in whatever circumstance it may be, high school/college/professional/etc but I find Dickinson easy to root for and I'll be following them the rest of the way like the rest of my Falcons fans. As I said over on the GNAC board the interviews with both Coach Seretti and Wixted were great. Both were well spoken and thoughtful. I imagine it would have been much of the same with whoever they interviewed. I couldn't make the 4+ hour trip but from what D3 has said about the atmosphere and hospitality, it makes it that much easier to hope you guys make a run! Good luck!

I almost always root for the team that ousts my team, because the further they go proves a good team beat my team.

Super group of hoop fans posting. Personally I'm itching for basketball and wish it was Friday. I'm hoping the game will be streamed, but see no signs yet on the VWC, RMC or Dickinson websites. Hopkins already has a link for their game, so does anyone know? BTW there is a time change--with Va Wesleyan -Dickinson starting at 5pm and not 5:30 as previously stated.

Games at Randolph-Macon will be streamed, definitely.

The games will be streamed and links set up appropriately... we are just working on some behind the scenes stuff that is delaying the publishing of those links.

Super news--Thanks.

You are right. What a huge difference a coach who is only only a coach but mentor and community leader can make to a player, team, school. community and beyond. There are many who go through the motions and have an over-inflated opinion of their abilities and impact. The Centennial Conference has its share of these guys. Guys like Seretti, Robinson and Nelson are true leaders. The opposites are self evident and their programs show it

Can't wait for 5:00 to watch what should be a great game between Dickinson and Virginia Wesleyan. I have no doubt that both teams will be prepared. I can't see Wesleyan slowing the game down so for those who love offense we should get quite a performance from both teams. Will probably come down to who can get a couple of stops down the stretch and who can make their FTs. Macon is a great venue and the house should be full so here we go!

Great season for Dickinson. Unfortunate game for Angradi 0 for 8. Probably his lowest scoring game of the season.

Team First · March 13, 2015, 11:05:21 PM

Agreed. Great season for Dickinson.

Tough road to the final four. Would have needed victories over #7, #9 and #1. The Red Devils battled but every run was answered by a very confident VWC squad which played a great game. Both teams were well prepared and executed on defense. VWC made shots and I don't think you can say the same for Dickinson. I expected an up and down game but it turned out to be a half court game with VWC neutralizing Dickinson's height advantage with good ball movement and solid (mostly timely) shooting against Dickinson's zones and just good physical play keeping Dickinson's bigs away from the paint and limiting offensive rebounds, most of which were just hustle plays that didn't convert to stick backs.

It was a good year for the Centennial which seems to be on the rise.

Hopkins had the game within their grasp, but come up empty in the second half. Only 17 points.

Same with Scranton a week earlier - 8 points in 18 mins, 2nd part of 1st half & 1st part of 2nd half.
